Finding “The Fountain of Youth”

_A Long-Sought Secret, Vital to Happiness, Has Been Discovered._

_By H. M. Stunz_

_Alas! that spring should vanish with the rose!_

_That youth’s sweet-scented manuscript should close!_

—OMAR KHAYYAM.

A secret vital to human happiness has been discovered. An ancient problem

which, sooner or later, affects the welfare of virtually every man and

woman, has been solved. As this problem undoubtedly will come to you

eventually, if it has not come already, I urge you to read this article

carefully. It may give you information of a value beyond all price.

This newly-revealed secret is not a new “philosophy” of financial

success. It is not a political panacea. It has to do with something of

far greater moment to the individual—success and happiness in love and

marriage—and there is nothing theoretical, imaginative or fantastic

about it, because it comes from the coldly exact realms of science and

its value has been proved. It “works.” And because it does work—surely,

speedily and most delightfully—it is one of the most important

discoveries made in many years. Thousands already bless it for having

rescued them from lives of disappointment and misery. Millions will

rejoice because of it in years to come.

The peculiar value of this discovery is that it removes physical

handicaps which, in the past, have been considered inevitable and

irremediable. I refer to the loss of youthful animation and a

waning of the vital forces. These difficulties have caused untold

unhappiness—failures, shattered romances, mysterious divorces. True

happiness does not depend on wealth, position or fame. Primarily, it is

a matter of health. Not the inefficient, “half-alive” condition which

ordinarily passes as “health,” but the abundant, vibrant, magnetic

vitality of superb manhood and womanhood.

Unfortunately, this kind of health is rare. Our civilization, with its

wear and tear, rapidly depletes the organism and, in a physical sense,

old age comes on when life should be at its prime.

But this is not a tragedy of our era alone. Ages ago a Persian poet,

in the world’s most melodious epic of pessimism, voiced humanity’s

immemorial complaint that “spring should vanish with the rose” and the

song of youth too soon come to an end. And for centuries before Omar

Khayyam wrote his immortal verses, science had searched—and in the

centuries that have passed since then has continued to search—without

halt, for the fabled “fountain of youth,” an infallible method of

renewing energy lost or depleted by disease, overwork, worry, excesses or

advancing age.

Now the long search has been rewarded. A “fountain of youth” has been

found! Science announces unconditionally that youthful vigor can be

restored quickly and safely. Lives clouded by weakness can be illumined

by the sunlight of health and joy. Old age, in a sense, can be kept at

bay and youth made more glorious than ever. And the discovery which makes

these amazing results possible is something any man or woman, young or

old, can easily use in the privacy of the home, unknown to relative,

friend or acquaintance.

The discovery had its origin in famous European laboratories. Brought to

America, it was developed into a product that has given most remarkable

results in thousands of cases, many of which had defied all other

treatments. In scientific circles the discovery has been known and used

for several years and has caused unbounded amazement by its quick,

harmless, gratifying action. Now in convenient tablet form, under the

name of Korex compound, it is available to the general public.

Any one who finds the youthful stamina ebbing, life losing its charm

and color or the feebleness of old age coming on too soon, can obtain

a double-strength treatment of this compound, sufficient for ordinary

cases, under a positive guarantee that it costs nothing if it fails and

only $2 if it produces prompt and gratifying results. In average cases,

the compound often brings about amazing benefits in from twenty-four to

forty-eight hours.

Simply write in confidence to the Melton Laboratories, 833 Massachusetts

Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., and this wonder restorative will be mailed to

you in a plain wrapper. You may enclose $2 or, if you prefer, just send

your name without money and pay the postman $2 and postage when the

parcel is delivered. In either case, if you report after a week that the

Korex compound has not given satisfactory results, your money will be
